A racing wheel. It was the cheapest one
  • So you guys are saying I should test drive the experience before buying, especially since I already have an oculus collecting dust? I would love a great wheel, but I'm not paying out the ass for it. And want at least a good experience!

  • What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?
  • While I can concede your point that it's feasible and possibly even more practical to open from the stem, I gotta say that since switching to the other end years ago(because I saw a similar thread on reddit), it's been super easy and I've had zero issues. The stem just has a higher rate of fucking up, but it's not like either end will fully decimate the banana. Peeling properly after it's opened is an easy fix either way.

  • Rice and beans erryday
  • I've experimented with this a little as my rice and bean consumption has also risen dramatically in the last few years. When using canned beans, it's easy to just add rice and either water, stock, or undrained cans of diced tomatoes(and always onion!) and pressure cook it all together.

    When making the beans from dry, I'll just pressure cook for 30 min after soaking all night, then add the other ingredients and pressure cooker another 10-15 minutes, depending on type of rice. I'll usually simmer it for awhile after the pressure releases. It's a staple in our house! Mix up the seasonings and/or hot sauces and it's so satisfying.

  • Tesla Shareholders Approve Musk's $56 Billion Pay Package in Early Voting
  • IIRC, the reason sodium batteries would be better is we have abundant stocks of sodium, whereas the raw materials for most other batteries are limited and require more destructive mining. John Oliver just covered some of this on his show last Sunday. If that tech can be improved, hopefully there won't be any deep sea mining for more raw materials!

  • The American Justice System
  • Wow... thanks for more context! So a state agency error results in the judge and prosecutor not having the correct information, but how does the defense attorney not look that up? Maybe overworked, but I would hope for more... And Harris should've spoken up himself that the suspension was lifted on this date by this agency! He could've also just said- I'm driving legally right now. That would have allowed the lawyers to look into it more.

  • Expertise
  • Anything could have enough significance to warrant further study. If it has societal implications or environmental concerns, it could be deemed worthy. I've read some guidelines on how to read scientific papers, but don't have the link on me. The scientists are supposed to list their biases, but it's kind of on the honor system, I think.

  • Does this plan make sense? v2
  • On your last question, while changing reps to at-large would certainly help with gerrymandering, that would make it more difficult for reps to have solid relationships with their constituents. It benefits both the constituents who don't have to travel as far(although phone calls and emails would still theoretically work) to connect with their rep, but also allows the rep to tour their area more frequently and be able to handle specific, local issues more effectively. There are tradeoffs with everything though, so it might work better overall. It's just so hard to change the status quo, which goes for most things that people have listed here.

  • Does this plan make sense? v2
  • Great list overall but I'm wondering what you mean by reasonable behaviors in regards to having kids or not? I understand the notion of encouraging and discouraging behaviors by legislation, but that can be difficult to negotiate/implement.
